India's Oct 1-Nov 30 sugar output 3.97 million tonnes

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian sugar mills produced 3.97 million tonnes of the sweetener between Oct. 1 and Nov. 30, marginally higher than 3.91 million tonnes in the same period last year, the Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA), a producers' body, said in a statement on Tuesday.
